Nice!! I’ll be that guy I want more surface area 🤣🤣
I’m looking forward to this as I’ve already smooshed
My intercooler slightly upward as the oem steel bash plates flexed. I want it up out of danger!! Is this too much to ask for addition area? 🤣. I’m sure it will hold up better than oem just for the fact it’s all welded and not half plastic

Only our stock location intercooler is available for presale at the moment! We're still wrapping up the R&D and production for the high-mount kit so we're aiming for first quarter of '23 for those. I'll make sure to keep you guys in the loop as we get closer!

Does one have more surface area than the other? High mount vs stock location?

How did you preorder this?

My bad, I saw their post on testing both intercoolers and now realize this is the high mount thread. It is the stock location intercooler that's on preorder.

You may discuss this after testing, but do you expect issues with long trips and high-mount location? Seems much less air passing the radiator so this might just be for mainly trail rigs? I'm going with one just patiently waiting...

Does anyone know of a winch mount for the modular bumper that will mount it at the stock intercooler location to go with this relocation?

I think Mishimoto is the first and only provider working on the high mount intercooler, and it's not to market yet, so I can't see anyone out there providing a front/center winch mount plate. I plan on fabricating my own once the intercooler is moved.

Yes please hurry on the high mount! Are you guys doing anything to combat the DTC code for the shutters or they just left unplugged ?

I know for the Whipple Supercharge IC they have you remove the IC shutter assembly and provide you with a new ACC housing. To avoid any DTC the shutter motor is removed and zip tied to the new housing and plugged back in. The motor no longer has shutters installed so it does its thing silently. Probably be what Mishimoto does. Wanted this upgrade so bad, but couldn't wait any longer and got the WSC stage 1 kit. Very happy with the build quality. One day I may upgrade to the High mount really depends on what advantages it has over the stock location mount, how well it performs compared to the WSC IC, and how it may impact engine cooling performance.

Mishimoto needs to offer a hi-performance radiator as the stock Bronco one is a joke.
